Really good. Not great, but strong contender. We very much enjoyed the bottle though I might say not as well structured flavor profiles as needed to be called a great Petite Sirah. Still, love most things from Freemark Abbey and love Petite Sirah, so no complaints. Will easily buy more, but I only seem to find it at the winery when I am there, can't find locally around me.

This is a great petite sirah. Give it at least an hour in the bottle to open up. Very tight at first. But it starts to sing after 60 minutes. Cherry vanilla, blackberry, and tobacco followed by a silky smooth finish. Great structure but not overpowering like some petites. The new American oak gives a great layer to the nose.
